Author's note: Konichiwa minna! As you can see, I have decided to do a little a/n before every chapter. I don't have much to say in this one, other than the fact that I have dragged a special guest here to join me. Everyone, please give a round of sound for . NAKAGO!!! Yes, I have persuaded the oh-so-good-at-being-evil shogun to join me for the last few chapters.

[Nakago] Persuaded, my ass! She dragged me here! HELP!!!

[P.K.] It does what it's told!

[Nakago] Ano . remind me to throw out your copy of Joe Dirt, ne?

[P.K.] Aw, shut up before I go get Soi.

[Nakago] KYADDA! Ok, ok, I'll be good!

[P.K.] That's what I thought. Well, ja matta ne minna. Oh, btw, the words to "Hot Patootie ~ Bless My Soul" and "Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me" will be in the chapter cause I want them there.

[Nakago] HELP ME, ONEGAI!

[P.K.] Grr . while I tend to Nakago, you enjoy the chapter. Ja ne minna- san!

Chapter Three

You again, huh? All right, I suppose I can keep going .

"Tasuki!!!" The motorcycle crashes through the wall and Mihoshi runs over to the redhead with a saxophone strapped to his back that's seated on it. He doesn't say anything, just gets of his "bike", tosses off his helmet, and looks around for a second or two. Then he opens his mouth, but instead of speaking, he's singing:

("Hot Patootie ~ Bless My Soul") "Whatever happened to Saturday ni-ight?/ When you dressed up sharp and ya felt all right/ It don't seem the same since cosmic light/ Came into my life, I thought I was div-i-ine/ I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go/ And listen to the music on the radio/ A saxophone was blowin' on a rock- and-roll show/ We climbed in the back seat, really had a good ti-ime/ ~ Hot Patootie, bless my soul/ Really love that rock-and-roll/ Repeat 3x~/ *Tasuki saxophone solo* / My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled/ My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt/ I'd taste her baby-pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt/ She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mi-ine/ Get back in front and put some hair oil on/ Buddy Holly was singin' his very last song/ With your arms around your girl you try to sing along/ It felt pretty good -- whoo! -- really had a good ti-i-ime/ ~Chorus~/ *Tasuki saxophone solo*/ ~Hot Patootie, bless my soul/ Really love that rock-and-roll/ Repeat"

At this point, Nuriko begins to chase Tasuki around the room (or basement, whichever you prefer) with an axe. (Surprisingly, the background people keep singing. Why? Don't ask.) They run through the hole that Tasuki made with his motorcycle. After the end of the song, Nuriko re-enters the room carrying the axe, which is covered in blood. Tasuki does not follow him. "AHHHHH! TASUKI!!!" Mihoshi runs over to the hole in the wall but is stopped by Nuriko before she can go through it. "You know there's no use going through there. You know what's on the other side of this hole." Mihoshi backs away from Nuriko. "You ASSHOLE!! I can't believe you would do that to Tasuki!" She turns and runs up the stairs to her room. Nuriko looks over at Quatre, who seems rather disturbed by the whole thing. "Don't look so sad. It was a mercy killing. I didn't have a choice. It had to be done." Quatre just shakes his head, refusing to believe it. Nuriko doesn't notice and continues talking. "Besides, what with that temper of his I could never really work up a love for him. He didn't have much to offer me." Quatre then flexes an arm, which makes Nuriko's jaw drop to the floor. "Like I said, he never interested me ."

* Nuriko sings "I Can Make You A Man (reprise)"*

When Nuriko's vocal part of the song is over, an electric guitar version of the Wedding March is heard. Nuriko and Quatre link arms and begin ascending a set of stairs leading to a bed. Sheer curtains are closed, and the rest of the occupants of the castle clear out of the room. Minutes later, Hope and Cye are (literally) pushed into separate rooms. Hope is extremely miffed. "Baka no minna. Why am I being shoved in here alone? This place is so freaking creepy . Cye ." Deciding to just sleep until she and Cye can get in their car and leave, she lies down on the bed and stares at the ceiling. A few minutes later, Hope's door is opened and a voice emits from the silence. "Hopie?" "Cye! Oh, I'm so glad you're here! These people are freaking me out . come in and stay with me for awhile?" "Okay." The figure crosses the room and gets into Hope's bed with her. After a second or two, they begin kissing. The person who is apparently Cye is sitting between Hope's legs. "Cye . God I love you ." A voice answers, but it's not Cye's: "Really? I rather like you, too." Hope gasps. "YOU!" The figure pulls off a wig, revealing the ever-present Nuriko. "Yeah, I know. Ain't it great?" "Yeah right! What have you done with Cye?!" "Absolutely nothing. Why? You got a suggestion?" "CYE!!!!!!!!!" Nuriko shakes his head. "I wouldn't do that. He's probably sleeping. It'd be kind of a shock for him to wake up and find you this way, wouldn't it?" With that, he pulls her legs up to his midsection. "What way? Cye is very trusting. He knows I would never . have never." After a few minutes of silence, Hope sighs. "You swear Cye won't know?"

A few minutes later, there is a knock on Cye's door. A feminine voice is heard. "Cye?" "Hope! You're probably freaked, aren't you? Why don't you come in for awhile?" "Don't mind if I do." 'Hope' crosses the room and gets in the bed. 'She' sits between Cye's legs and they start to kiss. "You know how much I love you, right?" It is not Hope who answers: "Really? You're not so bad yourself." Cye screams like a girl. "YOU!" Nuriko has fooled Cye, too. He pulls off the wig he was wearing. "Yep! Ain't it cool?" "No it's not cool! What'd you do with Hope?!" "Not a thing. Why? Can you give me a few suggestions?" "HOPIE!!!" Nuriko puts his hand over Cye's mouth. "You sure you wanna do that? Hope's sleeping by now. Wouldn't want her to wake up and see you like this, would you?" "Like what? Hope knows I'd never . never ." Nuriko smirks at Cye's inability to finish his sentence. As he leans over to kiss Cye, Tomo's face appears on a monitor across the room. "Your creation has escaped the lab, master. The dogs are chasing him around the premises as we speak." Nuriko sighs unhappily. "Take care of it! I'll speak to you later about this; you can count on it." "Hai, master." With that, Tomo's face is gone from the screen. "Now, Cye, where were we?" Cye still looks apprehensive about the idea, but responds: "You won't tell Hope?"

A few minutes later, Hope is seen walking around the castle. "They can't keep me in that dratted room forever. And since it doesn't seem like we're leaving any time soon, I better get a feel for this place." She pokes her head into a room, and, seeing it empty, walks inside. "Hmm . hey! I remember this place! It's that freaky lab Nuriko brought us to. Looks like there's an upstairs. Wonder what he's got there?" After ascending a spiral staircase, she wanders until her eyes fall upon a monitor. It is on, and currently has a view of what's going on in Cye's room. What she sees makes her jaw drop to the floor. Cye is sitting upright in his bed, panting. Lying down behind him is a grinning Nuriko. "Oh my god. Cye, how could you? ." She slides to the floor and begins to cry. "I can't believe he would ever do that to me! I though we were in love . guess I was wrong ." Just then, a slobbery and bloody Quatre enters, very out of breath. Hope stands up and Quatre stumbles toward her. "What happened? You're hurt pretty badly. Here, let me take care of it for you." She rips a piece of the black slip she is wearing and begins to dress his wounds. "I don't know what did this to you, but whatever it was did a good job of it." As she is wrapping another strip of the black silk around one of his wrists, Quatre looks at Hope and smiles. She returns the smile, taking a small pause in her task. After tying the last bit of slip to one of his wounds, she casts a glance over at the monitor. It is off, but that makes no difference to Hope. She sets a determined look upon her face and turns back to Quatre. Little do these two know that two other pairs of eyes are watching their every move: Mihoshi and Brene have tuned in on their own private monitor from the room they share. They share a smirk as Mihoshi, who is wearing a pair of bunny ears, looks up from painting her nails. (A/N: Yes, I replaced the mouse ears on purpose. FUH-Q EISNER!!!!!!!!!! Heh heh . gomen, minna. Back to the fic.) "Tell us about it, Hope."

("Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me") "I was feelin' done in/ Couldn't win/ I'd only ever kissed be-fo-o-ore/ [Mihoshi] You mean she .? [Brene] Uh-huh. / [Hope] I thought there's no use getting/ Into heavy petting/ It only leads to trouble and . seat wetting/ Now all I want to know/ Is how to go-o-o/ I've tasted blood and I want more/ [Brene and Mihoshi] More, more, more! / [Hope] I'll put up no resistance/ I want to stay the distance/ I've got an itch to scratch/ I need assistance/ ~Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me/ I wanna be di-irty/ Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me/ Creature of the night ~/ Then if anything grows *giggle*/ While you pose/ I'll oil you up and rub you down/ [Brene and Mihoshi] Down, down, down! / [Hope] And that's just one small fraction/ Of the main attraction/ You need a friendly ha-and/ And I need action/ ~Chorus~/ [Mihoshi] *making fun of Hope and Quatre* Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me/ [Brene] *playing along* I wanna be dirty/ [Mihoshi] Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me/ [Brene] Creature of the night/ [Hope] ~Chorus~/ [Quatre] Creature of the night/ [Cye's voice] Creature of the night? / [Nuriko's voice] Creature of the night/ [Brene's voice] Creature of the night/ [Tomo's voice] Creature of the night/ [Mihoshi's voice] Creature of the night/ [Quatre] Creature of the night/ [Hope] Creature of the night."

A few seconds later, Nuriko, Cye, and Tomo are seen in the elevator. Nuriko is proceeding to tie Tomo up with a shiny red ribbon. When the elevator stops, Tomo falls out, yelling "Mercy!" Nuriko starts laughing, and then just looks at Tomo, a grin plastered on his face. "Master Nuriko, I beseech you, do forgive me. It isn't my fault Quatre has gone missing." "Aw, shut up you fairy. Now go look for him on the monitor before I get mad at you." Nuriko unties Tomo and pushes him toward the indicated screen. Obviously Quatre isn't there. But they do see a figure. Cye does a double take and then exclaims: "Hey, I know that guy! It's ."

Author's note: Ha ha ha ha ha!!! A cliffhanger! I bet you're all wondering who the new character is. Well, I'm not telling. Why? Cause if you have paid any attention at all to the movie (or seen it for that matter), you should know who they see on the monitor. If you can't guess, then simply go back to chapter one and look over which characters are in the story thus far. Well, that's about it from here.

[Nakago] No it's not! I'm tied in a chair! HELP ME, ONEGAI!!!

[P.K.] Aw, shut up. Hmm . do you guys think I should untie him? Let me know yes or no IN A REVIEW. If I get more reviews that say no rather than yes, or don't get any reviews at all, Nakago will stay tied in the chair. If I have more saying yes, then I'll release him.

[Nakago] REVIEW THE FIC, ONEGAI! MY . er . MOBILITY (yeah that's it!) IS AT STAKE!

[P.K.] Well, ja ne minna. You'll find out Nakago's fate in chapter four.

[Nakago] I don't like the sound of that .
